I’m not defending Wood on this but I’d still like to know why this was legal...

Deserved the 2 game suspension, 3 would have been too much and 1 wouldn't have stressed the importance of how dangerous that hit was. I still think Brad Marchand should've had more than 5 games on his elbow to Johansson's head though.

It's different shots in the same environment in a different way. Both should have seen the player safety but hay, it doesn't seem to worry too many players why should it worry the fans? Wilson seems to get a free pass fairly regularly so there's also that!

Easily should have been called for boarding at the very least. With Wilson's history (he was already suspended for 4 games earlier in the year for boarding) it definitely should have earned him another call from player safety as well.

One major difference is Wood launches and leaves his feet. Wilson's hit is bad in that he hits the guy in the numbers. Wood does that and adds launching himself and leaving his feet which is definitely getting DOPeS involved. Wood should have got 5 and a game.

Haha ya a lot has changed in hits boys. Each year it's treated differently and Wood definitely deserved a suspension. I mean he jumped into the hit. Looked bad and 2 games seems on the weaker side of a suspension.
